Has anyone else noticed that the 'hexagon' shaped section of the topgalant is a tad to long, I double checked with the plan but ended up with the mast floating about the hole in the mast cap! managed to sort it with filler. Both the topgallant hexagon and the topmast are 32mm, surly the 'hex' length should have been shorter by the thickness of the mast cap??
(hope you can understand my explination)
Nothing worse than ensuring you get things right, then find the plans are wrong!Cursing
Hope this stops anyone else scraching their 'bonce', wondering how they cocked up!

WHEN YOU MAKE A MISTAKE, YOU WILL MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE A SECOND TIME, TO PROVE THE FIRST MISTAKE, WAS A MISTAKE

I think thats why 'DeAg' don't include the plans we've been asking for!
"If there's no plan, nothing can go wrong!!"Confused
